A very effective sunscreen at a very reasonable price
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is very reasonably priced but would I love about this product more than anything is how effective it is at protecting your skin and will be my first go to when purchasing a sunscreen, and for a man, it is best to be clean shaven when using, and not to put on too much as it will make you look like Casper the ghost if you do

No scent and blends in surprisingly well.
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Eucerin 50 (Sensitive Mineral - Zinc Oxide)
Expiration date: Sept. 2026
Purchase date: May 2025
The most noticeable ingredients in the sunscreen are zinc oxide, mineral oil, and a yellow tint. The sunscreen is not scented which is always a plus. The yellow tint was not noticeable on my deep bronze skin. My skin is sensitive to many chemical products but not this one. The product blended in well into my skin both when dry and when using a moisturizing toner. There was not a white cast after giving it a few minutes to be absorbed by the skin. Most oil-based sunscreens leave my skin feeling greasy when perspiring but the Eucerin 50 was a pleasant surprise. The perspiration felt normal and not greasy.
Overall, I am very pleased with the product. It is great for active people who normally sweat away sunscreen. Eucerin 50 left my skin feeling very soft after washing it off. This is the first mineral oil-based sunscreen that I have found to be satisfactory. I believe it to be a good value at the twenty-dollar or less price range.
Warning!: It can stain your clothing. Do not store oil-based sunscreens in a hot environment like your automobile. The ingredients will separate.

I've tried MANY sunscreens. This is the best for the money you can buy.
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have a section in my closet reserved for the graves of past sunscreens. And there are A LOT. Reasons why this is the best for price point:
1. No white cast. Maybe 2%. Yes, there is a bad a white cast when you first put it on, especially if your face is still a tad damp from washing. But it almost completely disappears within minutes. And this is coming from someone who is of Southeast Asian descent, and currently have a natural a tan this time of year. I get tan because I don't apply it every 2 hours as recommended. I only use it when I'm working out outside and the sun is blasting my face. I live where it gets very sunny.
2. NOT oily. I have super oily skin and so many of my sunscreens makes my face more of an oil slick than normal. I have matiffying ones, that work well, but it gets expensive.
3. Fragrance free! I prefer to use as many fragrance-free products as possible.
4. DOESN'T STING EYES. I'm surprised at how many "sunscreens for the face" are out there that absolutely sting my eyes into waterworks.
5. Price-point. A giant tube (for the face) for all that? It will take me a very long time to go through it. For my body, I use cheaper fragrance-free mineral sunscreens, or sunscreens I want to get rid of.
6. I use a moderate strength prescription of Tretinoin, and those who know, know that without sun protection, the skin can get burned and irritated extremely easily. Not me! And I use Tretinoin every single night.
I'm so glad Eucerin made this, I hope they never discontinue this!

Awful for normal/combo skin types!
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Terrible for normal/combo skin! I applied sunscreen to my clean, dry face – without moisturizer. After waiting 25 minutes, I checked to see if the product hadn’t absorbed into my skin. It remained on top of my skin in a shiny, slippery, greasy film that rubbed off onto anything it touched. It’s settled thickly into crevices and fine lines, especially in the folds of my eyelids. There was so much shine – not glow – on my skin that it created flashback when I took a picture. Somehow, the sunscreen made my skin appear both oily and dry at the same time! Many other reviewers said that they successfully put make up over this sunscreen, but I cannot imagine how this would be successful, unless the makeup finish was incredibly matte. It’s the worst experience I’ve ever had with any sunscreen!

Great sunscreen that smells good too!
Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Kids SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff actually smells good and the scent doesn't smell like chemicals. It comes out clear which is perfect because I bought it for my little blonde headed, fair skinned 16 month old. It's nice to not have his hair looking all weird with white sunscreen spray. Overall, very pleased with it! Came just in time for our trip to the zoo the other day!
